【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 283: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 3

Spiritual energy cannot be used recklessly. If you use it too much, your body will be very tired. It is better to hunt seriously. Let's dig traps in the afternoon.

This area has not been fully explored yet, so I don’t know if there are any bamboos. I think there should be some, as it is quite south here.

"The cave was dug pretty quickly."

Yun Xi saw that the cave was already one meter deep, and it was indeed quite fast without any tools.

The tree happily gestured and explained, "The soil here is soft and easy to dig."

"Okay, we killed the Cuckoo and Hopmon and will have chicken soup later." The rabbits can be kept for now and made into jerky. Without other high-fat and carbohydrate foods to eat with it, eating only rabbit meat will cause "rabbit starvation" and die of malnutrition.

That being said, isn't a cave made of soft soil prone to collapse? What's the "hoop" method for a cave? Let's get through this winter first. It'll be safer to build a house next year by burning bricks.

"Let's go deal with the prey." Xingyue took the rabbit and walked towards the river with Tao and Miao.

Yun Xi quickly made a fire. Shu felt it was magical after watching it several times. He started to circle around the fire, shouting "Oh-oh-oh". After feeling excited, he hurried to dig a hole.

When the sun was at its highest, the three wolves returned, bringing back several animal-skin bags of wild vegetables and fruits.

"Not bad, not bad. Let's cook the wild vegetables, dry them and keep them, and eat the wild fruits first."

Yun Xi cleaned the pheasant, cut it into pieces and stewed it into soup. She also secretly added onions, ginger and garlic. When the chicken soup was stewing, Yingtaohe, Langyawei and the other six people followed the smell and went to help dig a cave.

There was no one to look after Bing, so Yun Xi picked him up and took him behind a big tree to feed him milk powder. Not to mention that the child drank milk powder secretly every day, his little face gradually became rounder.

Turning around, he saw Yu and Xue helping to carry the soil, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The two children were afraid of being abandoned, so they were particularly diligent and sensible, and took out two big apples from the space.

"Rain, snow, come here."

Yu pulled Xue strangely over and looked up at her, "Chief?"

"Eat this fruit first to fill your stomach. From now on, your only task is to take good care of Bing, okay?" Yun Xi looked at their messy hair and didn't touch it.

Yu and Xue took the apple and held it in their arms, hesitatingly saying, "But the tribe is too busy to handle it. The cold season is coming, and we will starve to death if we don't have food."

"Don't worry, the clan leader is here."

Yun Xi's heart softened and she handed the ice to them. She couldn't leave the child on the ground forever, as ants and insects would crawl onto the child.

"Ok."

The two were somewhat reluctant.

The aroma of chicken soup emanated. Yun Xi went over to take a look. The stone pot was almost scrapped. Oh! Everything was difficult. How did the clay pot cook? I went into the space to do my homework in the evening.

An hour later, the chicken soup was ready. Just sprinkle some wild vegetables on it, cook it, and add a little salt. The pheasants were big, so each person got five large pieces of chicken and a bowl of chicken soup.

Ying fed her son a few mouthfuls of chicken soup, but found that Bing didn't eat much, so she left him alone. This is how primitive tribes raise children.

Yun Xi finished her meal with big mouthfuls, explained her arrangements for Yuxue and the two children, and then called the three hunters to follow her.

"Dig traps this afternoon, I'll teach you."

The traps she knew were simple. She would dig some large holes in places where prey often appeared, insert wooden sticks at the bottom, and cover the surface with dead wood and fallen leaves. It was a bit of a luck-based trap.

But the animals here probably don’t have that many tricks.

This time, the four of them went to Nanshan and dug a lot of traps where there was the most animal feces. As it was getting dark, Yun Xi pounded his waist and asked everyone to go back.

In front of the cave, rows of rabbit meat were blown by the wind. Yun Xi took a closer look and saw that the cooked and torn rabbit meat was almost dry.

Xingdao: "It was roasted over fire."

"Well, how about the rabbit skin? Is it tanned?"

Yue pointed up the mountain, "The tree is being processed. It should be back soon."

"Okay, let's eat fruit tonight. It's too late to cook meat now."

After listening to this, Xingyue stood up and collected the dried fruits. Xing said, "I didn't expect to hunt so many prey on the first day. The animal skin bag is a bit insufficient."

Yue tied up the three animal hide bags tightly. "It's just full. The grass seeds and dried wild vegetables are placed among the leaves."

"If anyone's hides aren't keeping you warm anymore, bring them over and exchange them for new ones. The old ones can be made into hide bags." Yun Xi called out, and Shu came back with eight hides in his arms. "Chief, the hides need to be soaked in water. Tomorrow I'll go to the river and see if there are any wild vegetables there. I'll pick some too."

"Okay, everyone, get ready for bed. The two caves are barely adequate for living. Men and women should live in separate caves." Yun Xi lifted the animal skins on her chest and gave orders, "Put the dried meat, grass seeds, and wild vegetables in the innermost part of the cave and keep them safe."

The tribesmen obeyed her command one after another. This was the good thing about primitive tribes. They didn't have so many twists and turns in their minds. They would execute orders immediately after hearing them without thinking too much. Of course, this was also because they were not well fed. The energy they received was only enough to maintain vital signs, and there was not enough energy for the brain to think.

It was a dreamless night. The tribesmen had already woken up at four o'clock the next day. Yun Xi didn't want to get up. She had been running in the mountains all day yesterday and her body was sore and she felt drained.

"Why are you up so early?"

Yun Xi muttered something. The strong sense of mission as a chief forced her to get up. There was nothing to eat, so each person was given two pieces of dried meat and a fruit, and then they went to their respective positions to work.

Yun Xi took the three of them to check the trap, but there was not a single hair in it, so they had no choice but to go hunting diligently.

Yun Xi took a stone and threw it at the tree trunk. After practicing for a while, she felt she had the hang of it and led everyone to track the prey.

"This shit, Amma, is a hum-hum beast!"

A humming beast? A wild boar?

Yun Xi's eyes lit up. The humming beasts in the original owner's memory were also very large! At least 200 kilograms, and the larger ones would probably be at least 300 or 400 kilograms. If they could hunt one, the pressure on food storage would be greatly reduced.

The cold season is from September to December, and here it should be from mid-October to the end of January, three and a half months, one hundred and ten days. There are about ten people in the tribe, and they need to consume three pounds of dried meat every day, so a total of three hundred and thirty pounds is needed. It is safer to store three hundred and fifty pounds.

The tribe now has 70 kilograms of dried rabbit meat in stock, so there is still a big gap.

One pig should yield at least 50 pounds of dried meat and some fat, so all we need is six pigs! Quack, quack, quack!

"Let's go and follow the feces."

"Chief, we can't defeat the Hengheng beast." He quickly reminded.

Yun Xi took out a crossbow from the space and said, "Who said that? I have this."

Ying was confused, "Mom, what is this? Where did it come from?"

"I picked it up in the wild. This arrow can easily penetrate the flesh of a humming beast." Yun Xi's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Your task is to use sticks to surround the humming beasts and don't let them escape."

Ying was skeptical, "Okay, if we can't defeat the Hummon head-on, we can still surround it from the side!"

The four of them followed the wild boar feces deep into Nanshan. An hour later, they finally found a wild boar den near a small pond. Wow, it was a big family. Yun Xi saw a large group of wild boars rolling in the mud.
